What's your point? Are you trying to prove you know something about the

having two gates on either end of a chamber means that it was built as a
lock. Since I've posted about a dozen references that it was actually
used in that manner would seem to indicate that it really is a lock.

Now you've made a claim that the gates are kept open while the current
flows in both directions. Whether or not that's true does change the
fact that its a lock. However, you've been completely unable to
substantiate your claim. Since I've cited about a dozen references,
includes the Army Corps, NOAA, the agency the owns and operates it, the
company that repairs it, and a number of people who have gone through
recently, and all say its a lock, that mean that I win, 12 zip.



geesh. call it peanut butter and that makes it a sandwich?


... here's a picture of the lock in the Shinnecock Canal:

Nor anyone with an IQ over 84. You may have convinced one person with
an IQ of 84.

One thing about ol Jacks Assbury, he is consitently a jerk!

How many JAXs does it take to milk a cow?

Twenty one
One to hold the udder and twenty to lift the cow up and down.

glenn, I hate to tell you this, but cows are NOT milked by pulling on
their
teats. The technique you describe would be a useless effort. No milk, no
cream, no nuthing but a ****ed off cow.

As usual, you missed the point again. :-)
